how much better would this game be if it auto dismount when you interacted with quest stuff, npcs, etc.
pretty much every other mmo does that T_T

Just click the left analog stick button.
I have had the same experience as a tank, I'm about to do Stone Vigil. The only dungeon where there were a few wipes was fighting Titan, mainly because the other guys always got pushed off.
It's been pretty smooth up to this point.

my keyboard doesn't have one.
PUG groups have been a mix so far. At least doing the earlier dungeons like Satasha. It's always poor tanks that do not understand their class or role that trumps it all up. Have yet to run into any poor healers or antsy DPS that pull early thankfully.
Just a bunch of new players that think their tank class is just about whacking stuff with a sword. I have had several great runs with competent PUGs though. I imagine later dungeons weed the herd far better too leading to more fruitful runs.

It's usually always the tank that has problems, because 1) it's the hardest role to play and 2) some people are just bad at it, or didn't even know they were a tank in the first place (i.e. MRD)

I'm thinking of running my first dungeon as DPS instead of tank, simply because I worry about the responsibility of being the tank, when it's likely the other people in the party aren't familiar with the dynamics. I think it'll just be too much hard work :v

the reason why it didn't work was because you didn't include the time to cast the spell require 2.99s. so even tho recast is 2.49s, you would have to go with the longer value.
Early game tanking is pretty easy and is just setting you up for how to effectively handle hate. You can even forego marking mobs, but you'll fine the experience easier to manage than not. It's mostly range attack, flash, combo cycle, move to next mob. End game is a whole other beast. Let's just say I plan on leveling both PLD and WAR to cap, but I'm going to avoid running and of the end and post-end game content.

Yeah, it's unusual that there are pure tank classes with no other options. If you rolled a Sith Warrior in SWToR, at level 10 you had the chance to become a Marauder or a Juggernaut. Only if you chose Juggernaut, then you could decide to be a tank, or you had two DPS trees if that didn't appeal to you.
In FFXIV, if the theme of Marauder or Gladiator strikes your fancy - congratulations, you are a tank and have one of the most demanding roles in an MMO.
Been wondering that, lots of FF lore names left to choose from though.
Big Whale, Triad, Typhoon, Holy, etc etc.
I'm a little bit confused so maybe you guys can assist me. I was looking at my services on my Squenix account and FF14 is listed. I never bought 1.0 and I've yet to buy ARR but I have 7 days remaining for FF14 according to my account page. I'm guessing it's the week they're adding to the accounts that we're in service? I played the original 1.0 on a buddy pass but clearly don't own the game. I haven't tried logging in yet cause I have a bit of a storm and I don't want to turn on my desktop. Can anyone who played both 1.0 and ARR tell me if they have just one service for FF14 or not? I'd rather not buy a copy of the game if I'm already considered to own a copy and just need to sub.
So I think a few people have mentioned that the party-play in this game doesn't start to get good until about level 35?
I'm only level 20, but I'm a little concerned about how throw-away the parties have been so far. I think the duty finder is great and all, but what I mean by that is that there's been a noticeable lack of a social element. That was a big part of my enjoyment in FFXI and I was hoping this game would kind of be like that.
Can anyone comment if it gets better in terms of the social aspect as you get into the more difficult dungeons? My hope was to maybe get into a free company via grouping and stuff, but my initial impressions is that might be pretty challenging.
Also, in terms of the cross-class skills, do I always want to make sure my supporting classes are at least half the level of my main job?

I had a blast leveling as a tank in beta but let there be no doubt to be a good tank you have to know the dungeon mechanics. I'm planning to finish all the rest of the dungeons as a healer on SCH (love SCH healing by the way) so I can get an idea how they function and then finish lvling MRD later. Tanks not only need to hold hate, but they have to be in the right position to keep players from getting AOE damage, they have to be aware of nasty attacks that should be avoided but perhaps most of all, they have to be the leader of the party because they are the first into the fray and thus need to know if a healer somehow doesnt have mp and knows when he is pulling too many mobs at once etc ) or know when to move mobs to avoid links.
One of the characteristics of a bad tank I have found (in this game) is the idea of pulling as many mobs as possible and holding hate. FFXIV isn't like WoW where you super tank and Zerg a bunch of mobs with AOE, its safer and often times faster to concentrate on one foe at a time and crowd control as many as you can. Our group had no sleep/repose and the tank pulled 6-7 mobs on purpose in Brayflox and it was the eft mobs with that magic damage weakness move and AOE. As a SCH I don't have many big power heals (and definitely don't have a decent AOE heal yet other then Fairy regen) its more about repetition of small heals combined with fairy heals. When the tank is taking that much damage and the DPS take lots of damage as well you can't win against that XD.

The only DF group I had that was bad was a Sunken Temple run where the dps weren't killing those bees on the first boss and the tank raged on me as the healer for letting them die LOL. While trying to battle rez someone who didn't kill bees on our next attempt I was hit with doom and the platform changed as I got to it and died I was a bit out of position I guess. 2 strikes and the tank bailed. All my fault apparently. I never did finish that dungeon since the queue for that particular dungeon was very long even for a healer and I ended up out leveling the dungeon. Figured I would do it while leveling my SCH and hopefully by then people would have a clue or I could get in a GAF group.
"Gravity", since the new players/population will likely be drawn to it.
It depends on the class. As a Warrior, it's pretty much mandatory for me to get Gladiator up to 22, and Pugilist up to 4 (or 12 if I want Internal Release). But I can't use skills from any other class once I choose the Warrior job, so anything else is irrelevant to that particular job.
They could start going with airships. Would be cool.
Highwind, Hilda Garde, Invincible, Lunar Whale, Falcon, Ragnarok, Farenheit, Strahl, etc.
You can tank quite a lot of mobs in bray. I've gone up to 5, could of pushed that a lot more too.
True, or you know, Red Wings, Enterprise, etc.
Also, pardon me for slipping into the earlier poor localization English name for Lunar Whale. >_>;;
This is my fear as well. Even in 14-1 you had to bound in a special way because of the way the economy and crafting system was screwing you over. Here it seems to be "hanging out with the randoms all day". Basically, how Guild Wars 2 was because of the Open World Events and stuff.
I'll probably just play it like FF11 back then, help some low level guys out and bond this way. I don't have the need to accomplish anything either, so I'm in no hurry. Will only play on Sargatanas from friday onwards, but if any of you need help, feel free to send me a PM and ask for my ingame name.
Have to disagree with you there! Went from 1-50 doing a lot of dungeons as a gladiator/paladin and almost none of them had a healer who bothered to CC

Probably a stupid question, but is there any way to "unbind" an item? I noticed that stuff that is bound to me becomes unsellable. Is it sellable once I reach the maximum bind or is there another way to make it sellable, or is it just permanently unsellable once it's bound?
I've had CC, but as a Warrior it's a pain in the ass to deal with.
Unsellable once it's been bound.
I find that hilarious because the issue is the dps. We can't do anything about the bees because they can one shot the tank no problem. Those have to drop instantly and you need that burst damage to take them out in one hit.

I just realized how the stances for chocobos work. A question on this though. Can they learn ALL the skill trees eventually?

hmmm... unless shit gets crazy later, i don't think a tank with gear near its level should have too much problem tanking 3-4 mobbies.
Haha, I didn't even realize it. Probably forgot "Big Whale" was even a thing when I played the re-release.
You stun them to interrupt the cast.
When you are at 100 % you can create materia from some gear, and the materia you can sell or meld onto your next gear. If you're lucky with the materia you get out of the gear, you'll be able to sell the materia for a far higher price than the equipment itself has been worth.
Of course, that's assuming the marketplace will work like it did in 14-1, which has yet to be established.
Damn, 10 hours downtime starting just after I get home? Guess I'll be caching up on some movies or some reading.
Regarding DF pugs, I've had a pretty good time of it over all, playing as DPS, healer and tank. My only bad experience wasn't even bad so much as weird. On a Totorak run, our tank had obviously done it a bunch and was in full on speedrun mode. Our bard apparently wasn't thrilled with this, and he kept kicking on his runspeed buff and zooming off solo, I guess in pursuit of coffers we skipped. Of course every time he did this he died, then released and ran back. And he never said a word. Dude also used his AOE heal limit break every time it was available, but somehow never managed to even accidentally use it at a good moment.
Anyway, yeah, been pleasantly surprised with he quality of pugs so far. I quit WOW before the dungeon finder was introduced, so this is my first experience with such a system.

thanks. maybe ill be able to get some playtime tonight (as if mmo maints ever finish on time)
Depends on if the party decides to focus fire and whether or not the healer needs to stay on you the entire time or can drop a sleep on the other mobs. Some dd like to drop DoTs on 2nd and 3rd tier mobs which means no sleep.
Also, not sure if SCH have access to sleep (Repose) from CNJ, Sleep from THM, access to their own cc, or if they just don't have one at all.
This. Also its not like XI where the timers were unforgiving.

Thanks for the answers. Sad to learn, but I should have known. Could have had 200,000+ instead of a few items I used for a couple levels and then outgrew.
Will look into turning them into materia, though.

game needs faster mounts.

In the second to last dungeon, there is definitely one cutscene that pretty much NEEDS to be skipped unless everyone else is super competent. Also, it doesn't really matter if it's rude or not. Its a group endeavor and the needs of the group trump people watching that one cutscene.
Or, an item that drastically speeds up Mounts temporarily. Like, I dunno, Rapid Radish, doubles speed of mount for 5 minutes.
